Easy Startup, Easy to Learn
Just minutes after installing the software, helpful features like an improved Setup Guide and Preparation Checklist, Navigation Centers, Wizards, and a Guided Tour will make it easy for you to start tracking your finances. The software's Navigation Centers offer a quick and intuitive way to navigate and gain access to your company's information. From one screen you can conveniently view and drill into lists, reports, setup screens, graphs, and more. The software's Guided Tour and New Company Setup Wizard will take all the mystery out of getting started. Best of all, if you're moving into Peachtree from QuickBooks, a easy-to-use conversion utility will convert your QuickBooks data (versions 4.0 to 2006, Basic through Enterprise).

Control, Choice and Flexibility
With the software's Internal Accounting Review, you can run up to 15 checks at any time on your Peachtree data and search for common accounting mistakes such as duplicate transactions and cash receipts that do not debit the correct General Ledger cash account. By taking advantage of the Online Bank Reconciliation feature, you'll reduce the time it takes to reconcile your bank accounts. Simply download your bank statement into Peachtree, and items that have cleared your bank are matched up with existing entries in Peachtree for faster reconciliation. Transactions that are missing from Peachtree can easily be created from information supplied by your bank.

Because the software's Quick Entry Account Register looks just like your check book register, you'll feel right at home, but unlike a checkbook, the Quick Entry Register allows you to drill down into each transaction for more detail. You will know instantly the payment status of each purchases or invoice, so you can easily stay on top of who owes you and who you owe. These features combine to let you track each invoice until it's paid.

Half the battle to running your own business is being able to keep track of the bills you need to pay. Peachtree Pro Accounting lets you write your checks and pay your bills as if you were working in your own checkbook. And with the software's enhanced reporting features, you can even filter out the bills that need to be paid according to date, amount due, discounts, and more. This helps you prioritize exactly how you spend your money.

Powerful Inventory Features
With advanced features that let you keep track of your inventory, Peachtree Pro Accounting keeps you on top of your company's assets at all times. Peachtree will not only automatically update your inventory after you invoice your customers or purchase new stock from vendors, it will also let you track extensive detail on each of your inventory items, such as price levels, tax types, weight, cost method, item type, and more.

Robust Reporting Tools
With Peachtree Pro Accounting, you can easily compare your actual financials against a budget with a new, easier way to create budgets. Your new Peachtree budgets look and act like a spreadsheet, so you save time and avoid mistakes by not having to re-key budget data into other applications. Peachtree Pro Accounting provides all the reporting and analysis tools you need to know at all times where your business stands. You can choose from over 100 reports -- and customize them to look the way you want them -- to better track, forecast and budget your finances and get the information vital to your business's success and growth.

Peachtree's Financial Manager function can help you to get an instant snapshot view of your business's overall financial performance. You can review such popular ratios as Cost of Sales, Profit Margins and more, as well as up-to-the-minute balances on cash, accounts receivable, and other vital information. And you can quickly and easily perform "what if" analyses to understand the impact of changing business conditions with the Peachtree Cash Manager.

Time-Saving, At-a-Glance Features
By giving you all the tools you need to gather your company's information into one place, you'll manage your business better than ever. You'll be able to find, view, drill down, print and e-mail the precise information you need. You can even quickly create mass mailings or e-mail blitzes and other notifications such as customer newsletters, thank you notes, and more from the contact information and transaction information that's contained in your Peachtree database. In short, there's no limit to the ways that Peachtree Pro Accounting will help you keep track of every aspect of your business, thereby improving your cash flow and bottom line.

4.0 out of 5 stars Best in the price range, not for everyone, May 1, 2007

This review is from: Peachtree By Sage Pro Accounting 2007 (CD-ROM)

Having worked for several small companies going back 15 years I have used many accounting software programs, all the way back to Peachtree for DOS. I have also used Quickbooks which is the competitive product, sort of. If you are an accountant Peachtree at this price is the best product available. In addition Sages full line of products allows you to step up to a higher end program(if the need ever arises) with the same look and feel as Peachtree so if your company grows bigger the learning curve in the long run could be less. This version, as it is, does most things programs costing thousands of dollars more will do.
It is definately easiest for those that know accounting. For example, someone mentioned the cost of the Payroll service and how much it is but you can do ALL your payroll for free using the user-maintained tables and tax rates. I find it simple and incredibly functionable and do payroll for free. However, Quickbooks is easier for a novice, I have clients that use quickbooks and even though Peachtree is a better product I would not even mentioning switching because it would be more headache than it's worth. Also, Peachtree is not as forgiving with errors, which is a good thing to me. I will say clents with Quickbooks generally have a complete mess in there file as quickbooks makes it very easy to just do watever you want and I'm amazed what I find in there sometimes. You basically have 2 options in this price range, 1) get Peachtree and take the time to learn it. or 2) If you want an easy out of the box solution just get Quickbooks as it will do what most people want it to do with less learning. Where Peachtree slacks(and makes a 5 start program 4 stars) is customer service is pay after 30 days and the fervor to copy-protect can sometimes make installation a hassle, especially on a network. Also, 2007 is only semi-compatible with Vista and requires a special download though the 2008 version out in June 07 is "Works with Vista" compatible or so they say.
Peachtree is powerful, likely more powerful and harder to learn out of the box than a sole proprietorship would need. If you are a business big enough to have an accountant or bookkeeper on staff Peachtree would likely be something to strongly consider. I personally think it's a great product.

1.0 out of 5 stars Peachtree Pro hard to install - not for me!, September 17, 2006

By 

Phillip Anglin (Nashville, TN) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Peachtree By Sage Pro Accounting 2007 (CD-ROM)

I purchased Peachtree Pro to use in my small business. Right out of the box, I am having problems installing the software. After three attempts to load it, I finally called Peachtree Customer Service and am in no better shape than I was before I called. After waiting on hold for greater than 30 minutes, I worked with a tech specialist for over an hour, but no resolution to the problem could be found. The main issue is "conflicts with firewalls." Even with firewalls disabled, the program would not load. I have now wasted more than 6 hours and still do not have a reliable accounting program.

5.0 out of 5 stars Vista Compatibility, February 18, 2007

It is Vista Compatible! There is a patch for the 2007 software.
I've been using this program for a long time now and prefer it over all the other accounting programs. It does have a few quirks, but nothing that someone with an accounting background and knowledge of the software can't tweak!
